Some how I think the release of an image from a snow stage has been planned for a long time ;)
More rally, classic cars, weather conditions (rain,snow) and new locations, officialy confirmed for DiRT3.
What's left to see, Is the percentage of rally VS off road stuff...
I guess It will be a 50%-50% this time.

although I didn't like dirt 2, that report makes dirt 3 sound pretty cool, as long as rallying is the main focus again.Quote:

Meanwhile, over 50 rally cars confirmed (!)
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/di...-50-rally-cars
I think 50 different rally cars are too much;probably they sum up all the liveries too...
Maybe we're talking around 12-15 different car models of 4-5 liveries each.
Group B = win
Split screen = big win
Its looking so much better than the first two so far!
One thing that Codemasters have always done well is to represent the different eras of rallying. Just in CMR2 they had Mini, Stratos, 6R4, 205T16, Sierra Cosworth and a Delta. Dirt2 was a bit crappy with stuff like the Pontiac Solstice and BMW Z4 (anyone ever seen one of those in a stage?) but at least they had the MK2, RS200 and a perfect sounding 6R4.
Interesting that they've also got a WRC licence this time, bet Black Bean weren't too happy about that.

Some Interesting Info from Paul Coleman (DiRT 3 Senior Designer):
''We have different tyre types available which will affect how the cars handle on different surfaces.''
''We will not have a Track Editor in DiRT 3. We are investigating it for future titles though''
''We have some reversals and some overlap between rally stages. We avoid reusing the same bit of road as much as possible.''
''We are working on getting more rally into the game by increasing the number of stages in events.''

Game is a long way away yet, with Kris being based a lot closer than Mr Block, this may be a McRae-esque input into the game. His experience of the various types of vehicle formats could be in valuable to us, the fans enjoyment of the game. Thre man has an in depth knowledge and experience of driving, testing and developing top line cars, such as the C4 and Xsara WRC, Peugeot 207, numerous Super 1600 Fwd cars, Group B Metros and RWD Escorts. On another level its nie to see a bit of continuity, with Kris having been Colins protege :)
I agree. Codemasters have confirmed that DiRT3, will be the final of the DiRT series
and after that, they will start up a brand new series, though they haven't said If we're talking
about a rally or an offroad new series!
Let's hope they return to rally gaming with Kris to be the man
behind the game, just like Colin did! :)
Paul Coleman, senior DiRT3 designer: 'Our adrenaline fueled stages average out at over 5 miles. We have classic Finland stages with some awesome airborne moments.'
I got a better feeling about Dirt 3 then WRC2010 .... in the rally section.... just because Kris Meeke is helping whit Dirt 3 whit a professional co-driver.... somethign that WRC2010 didnt had...
Is that on a banked section? Why is a 207 s2000 on an oval?
I assume its a Superspecial stage?
More possible to be a rallycross track...Quote:

Don't worry, It will have all the X-Games and off road stuff, like DiRT2 had!Quote:

btw, here's a new review:
Preview: DiRT 3 Gameplay Preview - ComputerAndVideoGames.com
Dirt3 will be 10x better than WRC will ever be! Can't wait for this game to be released :D
I wouldn't bother getting your hopes up for either. I've got a feeling that Codies are paying a lot of lip service with little action. I'll wait and see though, will probably end up getting both.Quote:

Codemasters announced:" Rally is coming back for sure. There will be more information in the next few weeks"
DiRΤ3 rally locations confirmed:Finland, Norway, Kenya and Michigan (!!!) Where's Monte Carlo???
There will be 8 stages per country, but some of them they will be sprint stages :( and some other longer.
Finland & Michigan will have rain. Kenya will be dry and Norway will
have snow! The will all have night stages!All cars on the night stages
will be fitted with light rigs/bars to help with visibility!

Monte Carlo is already confirmed for the game. I think another car that will feature is the Renault Alpine A110 as they have already done sound recordings for that car.
